Sweet red bean jelly

Yanggaeng 양갱

Yanggaeng is one of my favorite Korean snacks. I love the texture of the sweet, soft, smooth, and blended silky beans and I much prefer this over any kind of chocolate. When I was young, and going on a school picnic, my mom used to give me a little money to buy a snack or something to eat. “Buy some of your favorite snack with this money,” she said. Yanggaeng was always one of the things that I bought.

As you see in the video, I added chestnuts. They kind of look like yellow buttons. Think of how delighted you’ll be to dig into the jelly and find a chestnut.

Show off your homemade yanggaeng to your friends and family:
“Would you be interested in tasting my Yanggaeng?”
“What’s Yanggaeng?”
“Oh, Yanggaeng is …” : )

Making it today!!!! Can’t wait to try it. I usually buy it from my local Korean grocery store when I go shopping. Will be substituting the gelatin with agar agar powder (equal parts) since I have a sister who is vegetarian… she will probably love it!!!!!
